As part of the "31 days of December" project I have a ticket to see "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Music Box on Southport tonight. Makes sense, right? I have been told repeatedly that it is the holiday of all holiday movies.
But I wouldn't know. I haven't seen it. Ever.
I may be one of the last (of my age at least) to see this film. I didn't set out with this as a goal, but when the umpteenth person raved and tearfully told me I didn't know what I was missing....I decided to go right along missing it. Until now.
With this attempt at trying to bring new traditions to my holidays, I have decided this could be one of them. The jury's waiting to see if this Jimmy guy can win me over.
I haven't seen it yet either. And I'm older than you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan. And I love Christmas. It's just too....TOO for me, you know?
ReplyDeleteI can certainly appreciate mild aversion to it. And I also get how it's popularity and annoying back-to-back-on-every-channel airtime contributes to one not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it found a special place in my heart early in life. I've always been a fan.
Did you at least enjoy seeing it at the Music Box?? It's so much more enjoyable there if you ask me. The crowd cheers when George is on the screen, they whistle every time they see that saucy minx Mary, boo and hiss when Mr. Potter appears and always yell "hot dog!!" in unison with George every time he says it. At least, that's how the crowd was the last couple times I saw it.
Is the jury in yet?
